The small Victorinox 58mm series of knives includes the most popular pocket knife of all time, the Victorinox Classic. They are all based on an original 1952 patented design by Carl Elsener (Diagram) that was granted US patent protection in 1955. Note: The current design is slightly different from Carl Elsener's original. These are the small knives most often carried on keychains, in watch pockets, and in pocket-books. They are very popular as promotional or advertising knives, especially the Classic. The little knives became famous for doing big things, perhaps the biggest is a long list of lives they have been credited with saving. The greatest feature of this series is their size, they are so small that you can easily take them with you anywhere and at all times - although airline flights are now excluded due to the decrease in world intelligence!The 58mm sized pocket tools are available in a wide variety of tool configurations, however these pale in comparison to the number of different colors, design prints, and handle materials that have been produced over the years, which runs into many thousands, when custom and advertising knives are included.

The list below shows the 58mm models that have been produced since they were introduced - Most are no longer available. Available models (2018) are marked with an asterix (*).
